You are now the final boss's best minion...

[Asita]

Power: Speed (and the appropriate reflexes to use it) and raw attack power.

Let the top brass have the fancy "One Winged Angel" form and world ending powers. I want visceral combat, pitting me directly against a single champion, and that champion alone as he/she fights so the others can pass me by. To me that is how a villain's dragon should be. A last line of defense that must be kept from interfering with the main party, preferably one who could take most of them out on his own, but who's stopped from doing so by the one party member who's got the requisite skillset to go toe to toe with him. Give me the same kind of send-off seen when FMA pitted Wrath against Scar.

For appearance, let me just go with a subdued look. Nothing menacing, nothing comical. If my role is part of the villain's formal army, give me a variant of the uniform. If I'm just a bodyguard, just give me something practical, and let experience turn that simple appearance into the heros' worst nightmare.


For music...I'd say something like this:

 

[Furioso]

The minion? That is merely the assumptions of a power hungry fool, for I have been the true threat all along, simply playing along to the whims of my "master" for pure and simple amusement, when the protagonist comes along I simply laugh like so...


and then walk away, immune to the attacks of the so called "hero"

PS: That vid is from Dragon Ball Z abridged, if the thought of a demon Mr Popo amuses you, go give it a look

 

[chaosyoshimage]

I wear a purple robe and half of a harlequin's mask. I speak in a combination of riddles, jokes, and philosophy. My attacks are magic based, but I also carry many concealed knives for certain occasions. What was the topic again?

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

So, I'm the Dragon, huh? As the penultimate boss, I'd have a badass, long, black coat, a small eye-area-type mask, a daisho set (katana/wakizashi combo), handgun and the ability to materialize rifts in space in the form of portals. Not just "only-on-walls" Portal-style rifts, but actually tearing holes in the fabric of reality and creating wormholes wherever I see fit. I choose this power because of the raw potential it has. Sending my opponent into a disorienting infinite drop using portals and then launching him straight down at high speeds, as well as low altitude, would do tons of damage. Maybe I could summon a bus to run him over if I feel like it. Or, if I'm feeling particularly mean, dropping him into a volcano. I could also possibly separate his top and bottom halves using portals and then remove them suddenly. Can anyone say "portal cut"? The possibilities are endless! Hell, I chose the weapons for the cool factor, not even for practicality because of this.

As for theme music, how about this:
I love the song. Beautiful, yet intense at the same time. There's something about this song that makes one feel melancholy, yet it makes one's heart race, as well.

 

[Shadow flame master]

So I learn what The Dragon is in this thread huh?

OT: I am the last thing standing between the Hero and his group and my master's huge-ass bedroom. I would be dressed with a red overcoat, black pants that have 4th dimension pockets on them, no shirt and an amulate that I posess from the Hero's vilage cheif/elder. Before the battle starts, one of the hero's friends recognizes me and (surprise) we're from the same race of Pheonixes that casted us out for interfering with humans. However, while the fire bird in the hero's group can no longer regenerate, I can. I can also weild black flames that eat other flames, even lava.

When the Battle finally starts, I light the floor on fire and run around while I shoot fire(regular, not black fire) at the goody group. When my health is down one bar, I pull out two katanas from my 4th dimension pockets and proceed to visously attack the hero's party, after a while, the blades are lit on fire to maximize damage> When the pheonix in the group starts getting serious and hurts me significantly enough, I abandon my lava floor and grow wings. I then decide it's time to let some light in and destroy the roof. The path to my master's chamber is sealed, and the only way for the heroes to survive is to take to the skies.

There, in the skies over my lord's dominion, a fight between a hero and his/her pheonix friend against me. Th terrible Black-flamed Pheonix that was casted out of his home for simply being too dangerous. My flames start to have no affect on the hero so I decide to enter my last phase. My eyes turn black, my overcoat burned off, my wings enlarge and blacker than the night and hotter than the sun in hell. Yes, this is my final form, a black-fire pheonix that only appears once in a melinia.

Oh boy, I was too busy tring to make myself sound cool to think of a way for him/her to beat me. Oh well, if they are really heroes, then a black-fire pheonix shouldn't be too much of a problem for them.

[demoman_chaos]

I would be a humble knight in standard shiny armor. Fighting with sword and shield in an honest melee. My Shield of Stopping Things and Sword of Slicing Things doing their jobs. Once I get angry enough, I unleash the power of my Boots of Kicking Your Ass and come back with a vengeance. If my Boots of Kicking Your Ass fail me, then I'll do my last and most powerful technique, the FULL NELSON! Unable to escape, he tires and is subjected the most horrid torture device ever thought up by the most wicked of demons.... the comfy chair.

Spoiler: Appearance would be something like this

Spoiler: And Theme would be

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

I would have telekinesis. I would throw a shit ton of weak minions at the hero, and when hes done slaughtering them, id come in and use those dead bodys to throw at him and to shield myself with. And if he got near me id use the powers on HIS body.

 

[WolfThomas]

He'd kick in the door, I'd be sitting at a desk in a grey three-piece suit behind a desk filled with papers. Quiet classical music woud be playing, I'd straighten the papers, hit the inter-com and say "Pauline cancel my afternoon please". I'd peer over my reading glasses "oh well, it's you, (sigh) do we have to do this?". Then get up, take off the coat and lay it straight on the table and take of my reading glasses, carefully roll up my sleeves.

Then I change skin colour to dark blue, double in size and height and punch him through the wall.

 

[aPod]

No super powers
No special abilities

I'd just straight up murder the hero. With a hatchet.

[Arsehole Choice]
My powers would be to force him into a bullshitty cutscene in which the walks right into the middle of the room and into my trap; this would consist of me and my ridiculous minions that are calibrated to reacted to his/her control movements i.e. Psychomantises x10 they will use really cheap attacks to stun the hero whilst I use power attacks on them to instakill them if they don't move out of the way in time. This way, they couldn't sneak around or prepare their ground.

I would be one of those ridiculous heavy armour types with one weakspot on my back that can only be exploited because I turn like a cruise liner; the dick minions are designed compensate for that. I would be toting some obscenely large axe with ridiculous range.

Spoiler: My theme something like this, only with the lyrics laughing at how the protagonist is never going to beat me till they've snapped at least three controllers;

<youtube=f0TAxLjkdFU>

[/Arsehold Choice]

[Realistic Choice]
I'd be some sort of shapeshifter that keeps changing form to whatever the protagonists weapon is useless against, force them to keep changing; the problem would be that every few changes, I'd temporarily get tired and have to stop, allowing them to get a few good hits in, only to be fair though.

Spoiler: My theme would have to be something epic like this;

[Steel_crab]

The Hero opens the last door to the bosses lair to find his own little brother crouched in the middle of an empty room - his brother looks up in relief, begins to stand, then screams in agony as his left arm ripples and twists into demonic flesh - he howls 'What's happening? Make it stop!' holding the arm away from his face as the transformation crawls slowly up his skin, until...

It hits his eye, causing him to throw back his head in a soundless scream, and when he looks back down, a red orb of malevolent hatred glares from the twisted socket. 'You did well making it this far...but not well enough to save your kin!'

With that the demon hurls itself across the room to do battle with the Hero, its voice swapping between spiteful beast and innocent child - but your brother's voice becomes less and less frequent as the corruption claws its way through his body. Can you stop this monster? Can you save your brother? Or is this just another cruel trick of the depraved ruler of this place? Either way, you can feel it's strength increasing, and with every second your chances dwindle...


OT: If you defeat the monster before it is half-formed, your brother crumples to the ground, bleeding but alive, and the final boss, the creature possessing his body, is hurled from his body, acknowledging you as a worthy opponent before starting the real final battle.

If he fully forms however, the boss flies from his body just as you deliver the killing blow, leaving your brother staring in shock at the sword thrust through his chest as he crumples to the ground. The demon lord laughs with contempt 'Humans...so slow and pathetic, yet your sorrow...it is the most exquisite meal one could hope for!' with that, your brother slips away, and you are left to fight a fully rested and revitalized opponent, even stronger than the last...

 

[Chogg Van Helsing]

After travelling through a twisted citadel that makes no sense, the hero would come across a magnificent, black throne room. Black pillars of obsidian reach towards the never ending ceiling. As the hero and group enter the room in wonder, they notice a giant, statuesque figure in baroque armour sitting on a throne of burnished bone. When they look into its empty eye sockets, they all collapse in pain as images of their past. Each image is a bad time for them that has be previously played (family dies, home burns, etc, etc), but at the end of each vision they notice two glaring orbs that they realise are eyes. When the visions stop, the same orbs are staring at them from the figure. Slowly, I rises wordlessly. One by one, the party, besides the hero, attacks me. The first throws a sorcerous bolt which is deflected by invisible shields and I retaliate by draining their soul from their body. The second tries to duel me, but is swiftly cut down by my unholy blade. The third rams a knife into my neck, but I grab him and he is forced to look into my burning eyes (cue ghost rider style thing). Finally, the hero is the only one of his friends left alive, and is forced to fight me alone.

Stage one: I just use my sword. I am incredibly powerful, and each, un-blocked blow deals massive damage. I'm also rather fast and hard to hurt. When I am hurt enough, I enter stage two..

Stage two: I forgo my blades and call upon evil powers. Demons assail the hero as I stand in a torrent of black fire, healing as the demons attack. If he kills the demons in time, he can attack me before I summon more. If he manages to hurt me enough again, I enter stage 3...

Stage three: I begin to use my sword and evil power, not giving the hero a break. He has to dodge and block my melee attacks, and when I'm not close enough, I walk forwards hurtling fire and dark bolts. My health also constantly regenerates at a slow rate. When within an inch of life, I enter stage four...

Stage four: Realising my imminent death, I begin to transform. It will look like a cut-scene, but the hero can still move (but player isn't told this). While transforming, the hero can attack and kill me. If he doesn't, my armour ruptures and flows like water over me as I turn into a massive demon, recorded in legend as the bringer of darkness to the world. My health regenerates, and I'm largely immune to magic, but holy abilities do well against me. (In the game, holy won't normally be very useful, whereas magic will be.) The hero would then have to beat me at my most powerful, without a break for health etc.

When I am beaten, my armoured body returns to my throne, and suddenly the plates begin to shift and a portal appears to my master, a god of destruction. If allowed to transform, you follow me though a hole in reality to reach him.

Theme music?


It would start when my eyes are revealed in the statue after the visions and I begin to stand

 

[gonzo20]

As the heroes reach the massive doors to my bosses lair, they all steel themselves for the final fight and charge forward but just as they do that, the figure that has been taunting them all the way and fighting them to test their power, is the man in obsidian-black armor with his iconic red cloak and vampire blade. I float down from the ceiling with a blood red aura surrounding me and state "well done heroes but you go no further! the masters plans are set in motion and there is nothing you can do about it!" the hero sais "nothing can stand in our way! we have the power to defeat you and whatever is behind that door!" i then retort by stating "hahaha you really think you defeated me all those times? i merely held back and tested you. now, i show you my true power FOOLISH MORTALS!" the aura round me gets brighter and i draw my sword, showing i mean business (and this is just my first form)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FamXYEaFF7w
my first form music

after the hero and his friends injure me i scream "this cannot be possible! YOU ARE NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH TO STOP ME!" i then transform, just turning into a shadowy object with crimson eyes and i shout in a demonic voice "MORTALS. ALWAYS PATHETIC. NOW YOU FACE A BEING OF TRUE POWER! DIE EVER PATHETIC, EVER FOOLS!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDdDaZuMWko
my second form music

after the hero and his allies defeat me the red aura surrounding me dissapears and my armor turns silver and my cape turns blue, i request "take off.... my helmet... please.." as the hero does this they find out i am the mighty warrior from 1000 years ago who tried to seal the evil, only to fail and become a part of his army "do not... fail... everything rests on you now... please, defeat him because if you dont, everything will be lost that you fought for.." as i try to stand, i fall on my knees and offer the hero my blade "take... it... it will offer you a great chance.." as the hero takes the blade i finally draw my last breath and my spirit leaves my body to join those in the heavens.

in my first form i fight using the vampire blade, which can drain their health. I mostly use very powerful sword techniques and a few dark spells but nothing special. In the second form i mostly use the darkest and most powerful magics available and my weakness in my first form is powerful magic and my second form is weaker to melee and i absorb most magic apart from holy

well thats just me, imagine the end boss!

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Geez, I want to fight a few of these bosses! XD

...

I need a new RPG to play <.<

 

[Scarim Coral]

Power- It would be in a form of purple energy but I manipulate it so it take shape of a sharp cone. I can fire it rapily from my hands and also my energy is my fuel for my jetpack giving me flight. I can also not fire it so I can use it as a blade weapon.

Apperances- The overall colour is purple(main) and magenta (secondary) and my apparance is sort of look like a evil knight but slim looking. The texture on my armour is round the gauntlet look like sandpaper. The armour look very shape and pointy (sharpe tips). Also my boot at long and jaggy.

Music-
I'm evil but I got a kick ass theme song!

 

[taciturnCandid]

I would first have the hero fight his mind controlled friends. Then when he breaks the mind control with the power of friendship, I shall get out my death ray and use the environment to my advantage. And then if that fails, the final form is a geneticlly altered self with the powers of fire and ice.

Music would be Terminal by Renard

First form appearance is with a white lab coat, black gloves and boots, and goggles. Second form appearance would be the same with wings and four arms.
